    Hong Kong leader Carrie Lam has shelved the controversial #extraditionbill that led to violent clashes, but many say a mere suspension is not enough. http://sc.mp/7boh pic.twitter.com/66NxC0elwV

        They shelved it coz not coz of the students. Coz of the outflow of money leaving HK. That hit them where it hurts. Why weren’t there any thugs this time around compared to 2014? Businesses were not behind Occupy.

        China’s obsession with control. Looks like they turned the screw on the pressure cooker one turn too many. All giant empires demise ultimately and China’s may be sooner rather than later if they don’t watch out. The blue touch paper is smouldering.

        The suspense might buy more time for progress. But the paternalistic attitude needs to change to be truly open and humbled for building trust and having meaningful dialogue.

        What more is there to explain? Isn't it fairly clear to you that this law is intended to extradite anyone (including foreigners who just passes through HK but except for Joe and Hunter Biden) who has different views from the CCP thugs? #ExtradictionBill #CarrieLam #CCP #JoeBiden
